A few people criticize us for taking forward the work of previous governments. But I want to ask them, why you did not complete those works: PM Modi
A ‘Mazboot Sarkar’ (a strong and decisive government) augurs well for the nation, a ‘Majboor Sarkar’ (helpless and incompetent government) cares only about the coalition and select leaders: PM Modi
Congress divides, BJP unites: PM Modi’s fierce attack on Opposition
We are a party which believes in the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’, but Congress believes in dividing the society and spreading hatred: PM Modi
Yet non-existent ‘Mahagathbandhan’ is compromising the country’s interests for political power: PM Modi
BJP is a cadre-driven party whose identity is not limited to a single family or clan…This is what makes the BJP ‘a party with difference’: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today interacted with BJP booth Karyakartas from five Lok Sabha seats, Raipur, Mysore, Damoh, Karauli-Dholpur and Agra.

PM Modi began his interaction by saying, “I am glad to be interacting with booth workers across the country on the auspicious first day of Navratri. Our interaction today should inspire every worker to work for the whole country with much zeal and greater commitment.”

Interacting with BJP booth workers through video conference, PM said, “A few people criticize us for taking forward the work of previous governments. But I want to ask them, why did you not complete those works? It is our government that is completing the long pending projects.”

Answering a question from BJP Karyakarta in Damoh about the Opposition’s divisive politics, PM said, “We don’t spread hatred and divide the society. Our mantra is ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’, but they (Congress) wants to make themselves happy by dividing the society and spreading hatred.”

In response to another question from Agra about the government’s initiatives for the welfare of senior citizens, PM Modi highlighted several initiatives taken to make the lives of our senior citizens simple and hassle-free such as the introduction of ‘Life Certificate.’ PM also listed how schemes like ‘Jan Aushadhi Yojana’ and increased tax benefits for senior citizens strive to ensure social and economic security of our senior citizens.

Speaking at length about the divisive tactics of the Opposition parties during election and their yet-non-existent ‘Mahagathbandhan,’ PM Modi lashed out at these parties for compromising the country’s interests for political power where he cited the example of the recent Karnataka Assembly election, in which rivals, Congress and JD(S) formed an alliance to grab political power in the state.

During his interaction with a Karyakarta from Raipur, PM Modi described how the auspicious and pious days of ‘Navratri’ inspire him to continue doing good deeds while the support of 130 crore people of India was a source of immense strength for him.
Prime Minister Modi also recounted the contributions of India’s past leaders and freedom fighters like Nanaji Deshmukh, Jay Prakash Narayan and Rajmata Vijaya Raje Scindia for their selfless devotion towards the country.

Concluding his interaction at Mysore, Prime Minister Modi described what made the BJP ‘a party with difference.’ He explained that BJP is a cadre-driven party whose identity is not limited to a single family or clan. The BJP, he said, is the largest party in the world owing to the hard work and determination of its millions of workers and its self-less leaders who spent their lives in strengthening the party’s organisation to where it stands today.

“Sugamya Bharat Abhiyaan a Game Changer; Karnataka Congress Rolling Back Dignity and Rights,” Says BJP Minister on Disability Budget Slash
December 03, 2024

On the occasion of the Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan’s anniversary, Dr. Virendra Kumar; Union Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment of India, spotlighted the central government’s unfaltering dedication to building an inclusive and accessible society for all. Reflecting on the progress achieved under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visionary leadership, Dr. Kumar emphasized the transformative impact of the initiative, marking another significant milestone in India's journey toward true inclusivity.

Dr. Virendra Kumar emphasized the remarkable strides achieved in creating a barrier-free and inclusive India. He spotlighted the flagship initiative promoting universal accessibility in public spaces, transportation, and digital platforms. “The Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan has been a game-changer in promoting universal accessibility in public spaces, transportation, and digital platforms. This initiative reflects the PM Modi government’s belief that true progress can only be achieved when every citizen, regardless of physical ability, is empowered to reach their full potential,” he remarked.

Dr. Kumar highlighted the transformative initiatives under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, emphasizing their profound impact on empowering differently-abled individuals. He noted how PM Modi redefined societal attitudes by encouraging the use of the term Divyang(divine-abled) instead of Viklang(disabled), promoting a more socially inclusive, respectful and dignified life for them. He also underscored the landmark Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016, which expanded the definition of disability from 7 to 21 categories, ensuring equal opportunities in education, employment, and social participation. Dr. Kumar commended the government's initiatives to support differently-abled individuals in various fields. He highlighted the remarkable accomplishments of India's para-athletes, who earned 19 medals at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics and an impressive 29 medals at the Paris 2024 Paralympics. These successes, he said, reflect the inclusive policies and solid support provided by the Modi government.

Turning his attention to recent developments in Karnataka, Dr. Kumar expressed grave concern over the government’s alarming decision to slash funding for differently-abled individuals by an unprecedented 80%. He emphasized that on one hand, while the central government is making all possible efforts to empower the Divyang community, Congress on the other, is once again showing its true colors by disregarding their needs and undermining their dignity.

“Congress has hit a new low, stooping to strip Divyangjans of their dignity and rights, all in the name of cheap vote-bank politics. They prioritize freebies over fundamental human respect,” he said.

Dr. Virendra Kumar stated, “The decision to reduce the budget for differently-abled individuals from ₹53 crore to a paltry ₹10 crore in the year 2024-25 is nothing short of a betrayal which is detrimental to the progress and empowerment of this vital section of society. At a time when the central government is accelerating efforts to build a barrier-free and inclusive India, such a move undermines these collective achievements.”

He added, “Karnataka is home to over 1.3 million differently-abled individuals. Reducing their allocated resources will severely impact their access to education, employment, and essential support services, putting their futures at stake.”

Dr. Kumar highlighted that the budget cut reflects a blatant disregard for marginalized communities, calling it a striking example of indifference. He emphasized Congress's long-standing pattern of prioritizing political interests over public welfare, describing this decision as a new low. The reduction, he stated, directly jeopardizes the lives of thousands of differently-abled individuals who depend on this funding for access to education, employment opportunities, and vital support services.

Dr. Kumar concluded by stating, “As we celebrate the 9th anniversary of the Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan, I urge all state governments to align with the central government’s vision of accessibility and inclusivity. I specifically call on the Karnataka government to reconsider its decision and restore funding to support differently-abled individuals. Only then can we build a truly accessible and inclusive India.”
